This book wrapped everything up from the trilogy and had some great moments (I loved the ending) but I do feel like there were too many characters - none of the Seven really got the focus they needed to make them feel like distinct characters I should care about, and characters I was invested in barely showed up. Way too much time spent on the Elu/Akavi drama which I have not cared about since book 1, and the wrap up on this plotline had a lot of really bland exposition dialogue about emotions (like "I did this because I felt this" stuff like talking to a therapist).
Overall through a great instalment in a great trilogy.
